Firstly the switches need to be 2-way switches. Unfortunately there are 2 labelling conventions for these. There are also 2 ways to wire the circuit depending which way is easiest in your situation (uses least wire) One method uses 2 core cable between the switches, the other uses 3. Its hard to explain all this in words but there are some useful circuit diagrams in the link below that hopefully will help. Obviously all cables should conform to your countries colour scheme. You should also check local rules on DIY electrical installation.

How do you hook up an overhead light in the kitchen to a two way switch?
To hook up an overhead light in the kitchen to a two-way switch, you will need to run a 3-wire cable between the light fixture and the two switches. Connect the black wire of the cable to the light fixture, the white wire to the neutral wires, and the red wire to the two switches. At the switches, connect the red wire to the common terminals and the black and white wires to the traveler terminals.
How to wire up a switch for a home lighting system?
To wire up a switch for a home lighting system, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the power source to one terminal of the switch, and connect the black wire from the light fixture to the other terminal. Connect the white wires together and the ground wires together. Secure the switch in place and turn the power back on to test the connection.
What are the benefits for commercial landscape lighting?
The benefits for commercial landscape lighting is to be able to light up the yard at night and to display signs better. Lighting up the yard after dark can be a way to keep an eye on unwanted visitors and a way to navigate through the yard.
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
How do you wire a 2 way light switch down stairs to a 1 way switch up stairs?
You don't. You use a pair of two-way switches ('three-way switches' in US/Canada).
Were do you connect the dimmer wire?
There should be two wires coming from the dimmer switch unless it is a 3-way dimmer. The wires should be labled line and load on a normal 2-way switch. The line load is connected to the incoming power wire. the load wire is then connected to the wire that goes to the fixture. If you area replacing an old two way switch, then it will hook up exactly the same as the original switch, except for the fact that you will have to connect the pigtail wires of the switch to the other wires that used to be under screw terminals. I hope this answered your question. Thanks, Ben M. There should be two wires coming from the dimmer switch unless it is a 3-way dimmer.

I'm trying to make a lamp with a wire which i can bend to adjust the lighting. So what's the wire or a cable which stays in form after it's bent?
A solid (single-strand) wire can hold some weight, but it is probably not strong enough to hold up lighting unless it is very small (i.e. a single LED). Metal will also become brittle if flexed often.
How do you wire up a 3-way switch?
To wire up a 3-way switch, you need to connect the power source to the common terminal of one switch, then connect the traveler wires between the two switches. Finally, connect the load wire to the common terminal of the other switch. Make sure to follow the specific wiring diagram for your setup to ensure proper functionality.
How do 4-way switches function in a multi-location lighting setup?
In a multi-location lighting setup, 4-way switches work together with 3-way switches to control the lights from more than two locations. The 4-way switch acts as an intermediate switch that allows you to turn the lights on or off from multiple locations by toggling the switch up or down.
Difference between one way switch and two way switch?
A 'one way' switch is typically considered a 'single pole' switch with essentially one contact for the connection of an electrical circuit. A 'two way' switch probably refers to what is considered a 'three way' switch. where a single, common terminal can be connect to one of two possible contact points. (One incoming wire, and two potential 'outgoing' connections. A single pole switch is typical used when a device (light switch, fan, receptacle) only needs to be controlled from one location. A 'three way switch' is used when a device needs to be controlled from more than one (I.E. the top and bottom of a stairway, at both ends of a hallway) A three way switch allows for a device to be controlled independently from two locations, regardless of the position of the other switch.
When is lighting up time?
Lighting up times vary on the season and the country.
What is name of band lighting matches throughout their video?
could it be "Burn the witch" by Queens of the Stone Age? They light up matches at the start of the music video The Band is Razorlight and the video is called "wire to wire". Excellent work btw ;-)
